Apostle Beechum

Apostle Dr. Ralph Edward Beechum, Sr. was born September 6, 1945 in Salt Lake City, UT. He was the only son of the late Apostle Ruben and Elect Lady Emeritus Mrs. Lula Mae Beechum. He was the second of four children - Ruby, Carolyn and Linda (deceased). After the family relocated to the east side of Denver, CO, where he completed middle and high school, he discovered and began cultivating his musical skills. It was at Manual High School that he met the love of his life, Carolyn J. Whitfield, his devoted soul mate, to whom God blessed their union with five children: Portia, Ralph Jr., Dwan, Eric and Angelica. Their union reached a milestone on December 25, 2017 as they celebrated 51 years of matrimony. He was ordained as Senior Pastor of The House of Joy Miracle Deliverance Church, Inc. on April 20, 1985 after his father, Apostle Ruben Beechum went home to Glory. Apostle Beechum was always a mover and shaker in our community and beyond, training over 135 different ministries over the years and establishing The House of Joy Miracle Deliverance Church of South Africa in 1989. Apostle Beechum has held numerous community and civic positions in the Denver Metro Community. Additionally, he served two terms as President of the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance.
